Australia says Roblox hasn’t fixed its child predator problem

Australia’s eSafety regulator says testing found Roblox still exposed children to risks, including contact with adult strangers, despite recent safety changes. The inquiry is examining whether Roblox complied with the country’s Online Safety Act and had adequate protections for users under 16.

The findings intensify pressure on Roblox as regulators worldwide scrutinize how social gaming platforms protect minors. It signals a broader shift toward age-appropriate safety requirements that could force platforms to redesign communication, discovery, and moderation systems.
